Amy Winehouse, Kanye West will likely lead Grammy nominations

Amy Winehouse and Kanye West are likely to lead the Grammy Award nominees, which will be announced in Los Angeles tomorrow (December 6).

Winehouse, who has come to be known as much for her unpredictable behaviour and alleged substance abuse as her music, will likely earn some major nominations for her ‘Back To Black’ album, according to industry insiders.

Grammy-winning producer John Shanks called Winehouse‘s album “an important record” and told the Associated Press, “I don’t think her troubles are really going to hurt her. I think the sound of that album made an impact.”

West is another big contender for major nominations. His latest album ‘Graduation’ sold nearly 1 million copies in its first week, making it the year’s biggest US debut and spawning three hit singles.
